One Woman's Plot: a Year in the Life of a Suburban
Allotment
Geraldine Kilbride
A month by month story of a Richmond allotment. Gill could relate
to this book but couldn't imagine anyone other than allotment
holders, or aspiring allotment holders, enjoying it.

A book about someone deciding to take on an allotment, so much of
this was familiar to Andrew, as an allotment holder himself. A
light read, made irritating by a lack of necessary editing and
the author's unwillingness to give many important characters
names ('my friend' or, worse 'the partner' - is this any worse
than 'the missus'?) or flesh them out with any kind of
personality.
